The Ultimate Automotive Gift

10k will hardly get you a longblock when/if you ever build something serious bsns.

I think I would get a dope tig welder and a built transbrake powerglide/stall so that I could swap trannies for money races haha

ehhhhh, yeah…If that’s the kind of thing you’re into. Not for me though. You’ll never see any post from me with a $10k longblock inside.

But when you have a chick car 10k buys a LOT of “mods” for it. Things like seat covers and a little dash holder for flowers come pretty cheap.

stooping to pittspeed level? come on now…

lol

besides, those seat covers are SUPER comfy

@pirite

im with blue eyed devil.

a shop, with lifts, and tools, and all the other shit that would be needed. lol

I sort of agree on this…but I generally don’t think a whole new garage plus tools and shit = one gift. I guess you could argue that as long as it fits within the 10k, it’s game. I was thinking this was generally meant to be a sort of single item gift.

I’d take a summer of track days package for 10k. Start out local with Calabogie, Nelson Ledges, Mosport, Mid-Ohio and Watkins Glen. Wrap up with some road trips to Road Atlanta and Grattan. Obviously tires/brakes/gas/lodging would come out of the 10k.

Pretty sure I’d walk away from that with a way better memories than driving a lambo in the snow.

This. 10K can keep you busy during a summer of track days.

A nice set of wheels and tires and a massive gas card… and 2 weeks vacation.

Money is relative man. You think people buying 10-20k longblocks are changing their lifestyle any more then avg joe trying to get some coilovers or whatever? No waiiiiiii

the shop is the gift, it just happens to have all that shit inside it already. :eekdance:

Dart big block shortblock so I can do a twin turbo 555 and run 8’s on pump gas… 10K should cover most of the motor and then some

and yes 10K will get you a decent long block if you build a chevy

@ieatpaint

A 10k gift card to Elma Automotive so I don’t have to do any unwanted work on my cars for a looooooong time.

Not about that…I’m just not interested in spending 10k on a motor (or any other single item) for a project. I like building cars, but I still don’t forsee myself ever spending that much on 1 item. MAYBE body work if I’m restoring something vintage, that’s definitely the exception to that. If my life gets to the point where that amount of money is a bit easier to come by, I’ll be driving a super baller sports car/exotic/whatever…

[cougarspeed]

If you say so. :tup:

@Jam

A goddamn garage

this.

i’d really like a built single turbo 2jz for my supra. that, or take the money and build the 7m that’s in it.

[Freek]

A fully built motor for the vette … minus the parts I already have that leave enough to beef up the rear end and tranny.

[drvnkd]

Would a track bike and gear count as an automotive gift?

[Choda]

huge turbo kit
mini tub
4 link suspension

i just wanna go fast like joefoureye

[bing]

Josh, is Lindsay buying you a $10k automotive gift?

You think Jeff would actually finish your car for half that?

[boardjnky4]

I think it’s awesome that people have such different opinions of what they’d want. So far the groupings seem to be:

• driving adventure
• racing practice
• shop and/or tools
• go fast stuff!

It’s not a surprise at all as to who is falling into these groups either.

[boardjnky4]

I meant that the people with serious drag cars would choose to spend the 10k on parts (motor/turbo kit/etc…)
